Ordering

Purchase at the www.shop.grapak.com online store may be carried out as a guest or a registered user. In both instances, our database records data on the user's purchase. The registration process may be performed during the purchase steps or separately in the Registration subpage. By registering, a user is provided with his/her user name, which is identical as the email, and a password. The user name and password indisputably determine a user and connect him/her with the entered data. Registered users are then able to view their purchase history and user account data. User account data may be at any moment changed by each user by logging in. Only the email address can not be changed. If a user wishes to change his/her email address, then a new user account needs to be created via the registration process. Protection of personal information is described in a separate paragraph.

Before each purchase, a user needs to login to the online store with the user name and password that were provided during registration, and after logging in to the online store, a user may change, update and inspect his/her data (address, password, past orders, etc.) via the My account tab

When viewing the offer, a user chooses the "Add to cart" option next to selected products. Selected products gather in the cart (tab in the upper right corner) and a user may at any time inspect and change it (change quantity and/or remove from the list). An order is finalised by clicking the "Checkout" button, where a user inspects the list of selected products. In the cart, a user performs the entire purchase in 3 steps:

Step 1: a user inspects his/her order (list and quantity of products) and potentially modifies it, in which case the price in the cart automatically changes. This step enables a user to insert a promo discount code, which he/she beforehand received from the provider, and thus take advantage of an additional discount. The discount is added by clicking "Confirm" after entering the promo code. Promo codes may be have limited time of validity, quantity and value.

By clicking the "Continue with order" button, a user proceeds to step 2 of the purchase process.

Step 2: selecting means of purchase. Options are Purchase without registration and Login via existing Grapak account or Register.

In case of purchasing without registration, a user performs the purchase as a guest, meaning that in the following steps he/she only enters data, which are required for issuing the order. This means that no user account has been created during the purchase, which would enable later login to the online store.

If a user has registered beforehand, in this step he/she may select login via existing account. In case of forgotten password, a user may reset it by clicking "Forgot password?". Otherwise, any new user may register by entering his/her email address and desired password (2x) and clicking "Register" to proceed to the next step.

Step 3: a user enters email information, selects type of delivery (personally collect it at the Grapak store location or via delivery service (cost of delivery will be displayed before issuing the order)), enters personal information (name and surname), information for delivery (address, postcode, city, country) and telephone number. If a user wishes an invoice to be sent to his/her company, then he/she must check this box and add company information (title, tax No. and VAT information).

A user proceeds to the next step by clicking the "Continue to payment" button.

Step 4: the user selects a payment method (by proforma invoice, on delivery,or Paypal), checks that he/she agrees with the general terms and conditions and finalizes the purchase by clicking "Confirm" to implement the order. A user sees a purchase confirmation and also receives an email confirming the purchase with a purchase summary to the email address, which was entered in the cart. With options credit card or Paypal, the user is directed to an interface to complete the purchase and after a successful payment, the user sees a purchase confirmation page. An email with a purchase summary is also sent.

Upon user confirmation and implementation of the order in Step 4 of the purchase process, Grapak sends an email confirming the order.  

Prior to confirmation, Grapak A1 d.o.o. reviews the order and withholds the right to decline it, if the product is no longer in stock or if there is an obvious mistake in price, which might occur during automated transfers.
